About The Book

The textbook of Plant Physiology aims to understand how plants live and function. Its ultimate objective is to explain all life processes of plants. It includes many aspects of plant life, including nutrition, movement, and growth. The whole subject matter of the present book has been divided into 9 chapters which includes water metabolism, mineral nutrition, nitrogen metabolism, photosynthesis, respiration, plant hormone, secondary metabolites, sensory photo-biology, and stress physiology. Glossary of technical terms adds much value to the book as a ready reckoner to understand key words generally referred to plant physiology. We hope that this book will be of greater use for the undergraduate and postgraduate students, teachers and researchers of botany, agriculture, plant science and other related discipline.
